Re: AMD vs Intel

I want to put the command in crontab and i don't want ssh to ask for password before opening the connexion. I assume from these statements that you want to use rsync over ssh to do the transfer, right? Disclaimer: I haven't actually setup rsync and ssh to run from cron without being prompted for the ssh passphrase, but I'm familiar with the basics - hopefully this will help. So take this with a grain of salt - you'll need to do some testing to get this right. You need to 1. setup ssh properly so that you can ssh from the crontab user's account on the local host to the remote host without being prompted for a password, and then 2. get the rsync command (with --rsh or -e specifying ssh) to work manually, at the command prompt first, login to the local host as the user who will run the crontab rsync command. From the command line, run the rsync command manually - in the rsync command, specify the --rsh(or -e) with ssh to make it use ssh. Once you can get this command to work manually, and get it to NOT prompt you for the ssh passphrase each time, then proceed to put the command in that user's crontab. 3. once the rsync command (with ssh) works manually, then move on the put the rsync command in the users crontab. Setting up ssh properly --- Read the manpages for ssh, ssh-keygen, ssh-agent, and ssh-add first. You basically will login to the local(rsync source) machine as the user who will be running the crontab rsync, and generate an ssh private and public key pair. Then you'll take the generated public key from the local machine and copy the contents into an ssh keys file on the remote machine in the account that will be the recipient of the rsync. /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys cat the file on the local machine, and copy the file adding no spaces or new line chars. make sure the .ssh directory and everything in it is set with a permission of 400, and owned by the user. This is the basic architecture that will allow the local user to ssh to the remote machine user account. When you use ssh-keygen to generate an ssh keypair (a private key id_rsa, and a public key id_rsa.pub), ssh-keygen prompts you to enter a passphrase. If you *DON'T* want to be prompted for a passphrase when you execute the rsync using ssh, you can do one of two things: 1. when prompted by ssh-keygen for a passphrase, just hit ENTER - in other words, don't enter a passphrase at all. ***WARNING - this is *VERY* insecure. 2. when prompted by ssh-keygen for a passphrase, enter a passphrase and remember it. There are methods available that will allow you to ssh without being prompted for the passphrase each time, but you'll have to figure out which of the available methods suits you best.

On Tue, 2003-09-30 at 15:59, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all. I have a RH 9.0 box being used as a router for my house and my cable ISP uses DHCP to assign my front end address. Over the last few days, I've been building/digging and piecing bits of info together (NAT, ip_forward, ipchains, etc.) and have the thing working pretty well. I have 2 questions however. 1) As my front end IP is dynamically assigned, it can make it tough to maintain an accurate DNS entry. W/ Zoneedit, I'm able to do the following: wget -O - --http-user=username --http- passwd=password 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html? host=www.mydomain.com' This will set the IP of the record to whatever machine is running the above command. The problem is I don't know where to put that so that when eth0 requests a new lease, it runs the above command. The man page for dhclient and dhcp.conf talks about hooks. But this seems dangerously close to programming. Which I wouldn't be adverse to if I knew what the hell I was doing. Other research shows something about a dhcpcd.eth0 file existing in /etc. If it exists, the contents are executed as part of /sbin/ifcfg eth0 up (or similar command). However, the man pages for my version of dhclient don't mention a thing. I expect that this is a common enough occurance. And I'm sure I could put something in /etc/sysconfig or /etc/init.d or whatever. But I expect that someone has already thought about this and it's simply a matter of running a single command or putting the above command in a script that is already designed to handle this. It just currently doesn't seem to be obvious to me. If your on a comcast cable modem. Leave ping available to the DHCP server. If you block it, you'll loose your IP when your lease is up. If your machine is up and running when your lease expires, and the dhcp server can ping your device, you'll keep your current IP address. As for creating hooks. I took a look around, and only really found info on Debian and *BSD. If your willing to learn some shell scripting, or do some serious digging on google, you'll find it. I'd just put your command line statment in a shell script, and add a line at the end of ifup to execute it if the interface is correct. Mind you, this will work, but is far from the correct way to do things. 2) I'm very new to the whole iptables thing. I was able to set up ipmasq ok. Persistance paid off there. Couple of links from Google or Red Hat and reading through appropriate parts of the RH9 ref manual introduced me to '/sbin/service iptables save' (for the firewall rule) and the /etc/sysctl.conf file to turn on ip_forward.

Re: backup using dvd burner and windows machine
On Fri, 2003-09-05 at 19:04, Ian L wrote: Hello all, I was wondering what the general opinion was on using a dvd burner in a windows machine to backup some directories/files on 2-3 redhat servers? I was thinking i could just mount the relevant directories using samba, and then just burn them directly to the dvd, or tar them up first and then burn the tar file. You can burn to dvd, but don't do it over a network. rsync or copy all the files you want to backup to a directory on your machine, then burn from there. My personal machine is a win2k3 server. So it wouldnt be a pain for me to feed it 2-4 disc's to complete the backup while i'm sitting in front of it. i was thinking of going with a dvd burner for a few reasons: 1. cheaper then a tape drive 2. faster then a tape drive 3. media is cheaper then tape media and lasts longer 4. i can read the media in any dvd drive. Why not buy 3 200 Gig IDE drives and backup to a RAID 5 array? Total cost would be less then a burner and 6 months worth of DVDs. At this point the only reason i wouldnt go with this is if there is some technical limitation with this setup that i'm not aware of. Anyone have any feedback on this? The answer is you can, but do you really want to do this? thanks, Ian -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: standalone firewall connections
Um..OK why do you want to give the linux box a range of IPs? Do you mean to setup a DHCP server on the linux box for the local network? I'll try to help a bit here, but honestly sounds as if you need to do a lot more reading. Your linux box is the gateway device. It connects your network to the internet via dialup. In a text book example your linux box would have the IP address 192.168.0.1 on the eth0 device. All other computers on the network would have 192.168.0.1 as thier gateway IP address. If you want to setup a dhcp server on your linux box to distribute IP addresses to the rest of your network, you should do a search on google.com for a redhat DHCP how-to. With /etc/hosts, I wouldn't worry about it for now. After you can ping IP addresses then you can worry about your hosts file. In fact you can run a caching name server if you wish as well. Questions: Why is the NT box the 'proxy'? Did it at one time share it's internet connection with the rest of the network? What is the overall goal of this project? My suggestion is to do some serious reading today, and tonight. Start with the networking how-to you can try http://www.linuxdoc.org The linux documentation project for more reading.

Also, I am wondering if the /etc/hosts file should include all hosts on the actual network. the NT machines in other words. I now have the client machine's IP and hostname in this file. I think some vital info I left out in my earlier message was that the one NT server with a static is not only the mailserver but a proxy for the network. I am wondering if that should make things easier on my part. As well, should I include that IP in the /etc/hosts file. I take it I should. So, the IP setup is, from an ifconfig: 192.168.0.1 NIC card 192.168.0.2 linux.box.com 192.168.0.255 Broadcast address 255.255.255.0 mask And the dialup issue seems fine. I just cant reach the machine vi a hub or either connecting the client directly to the NIC card of the linux box. Meaning, I have yet to use that PPP connection that the linux box dials.

If they prove the case against IBM then that will affect IBM and its customers. But since this is a contract dispute, it can only affect parties involved in the contract. I never signed any agreement with SCO. Did you? No, I did not. My concern was the fact that in the company quotes to the media - there's NO mention of IBM Linux customers - it seems to be targetted at the Linux User in general. Mind you, the article could be poorly quoted I guess. Correct, but that is part of the FUD they are trying to spread. So far the only action SCO has taken, legally, is the lawsuit against IBM. The lawsuit filed is a contract breach allegation. But, SCO has waved their wand and made nebulous allegations that some of their IP, without specifying what it is, has leaked into Linux, including the kernel. They make statements that their IP rights have been violated, but refuse to show anyone what part of the code they believe they own. Ignoring for the moment that they may own nothing as far as any code is concerned (Novell's claim), they seem to be trying to get people to think that Linux is tainted and they either have to abandon Linux (and presumably by SCO Unix), or pay licensing fees to SCO. Until they come clean and designate what they believe is in Linux that violates their IP, there is no basis for anyone to believe their claim, hence their licensing program amounts to not much more than an extortion attempt, or a poker bluff if you prefer. *IF* someone knew what parts of Linux are in dispute, those sections could be rewritten in a 'clean room' environment and the dispute for on-going claims would be nil. But you cannot target those sections if you do not know what they are. To go back a decade, that is what happened with BSD. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,etc. are all based on BSD 4.4 Lite, which is the cleaned up version of BSD to satisfy USL's claim of infringement by BSD in the previous attempt at an OpenSource release, Net2. - rick warner Check out http://slashdot.org There are two SCO stories on the front page.

Re: standalone firewall connections

OK... 192.168.0.0 won't be seen on the network. That is your Network Address. Like wise, 192.168.0.255 is your Broadcast address. Give your Linux box's NIC an IP from this range: 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 We'll get back to this in a minute. My issue is that even with the firewall off, I can't get a connection with the other machines. Granted this is a scenario b/c I have been trialing this on my own network first, so I don't take down the actual NT network. I am using the internet services DNS servers, and have assigned a machine of mine a 192.168.0.1 address. The ethernet on the firewall is configured with no gateway since I have read PPP does not need one ( I tried it the other way but still no luck ) and like I stated, the linux box is connecting fine. I just cannot seem to get any of my other machines with 192.168 addresses to connect via their ethernet to the linux box's ethernet, via a dumb hub. Ok your firewall needs an IP address. Let say it's 192.168.0.2. Your NT clients should now have network information like this: IP Address: 192.168.0.50 (anything but 1 or 2) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway Address: 192.168.0.2 (The linux box) DNS: As provided by your ISP I now know I need to masquerade the packets on the network, since they are 192.168 addresses. I have set that up in /etc/sysctl.conf. When I try to connect from a macintosh or windows box, using the linux PPP 56K connect, and using the internet services DNS info, I get nothing. Yeah you'll need to MASQ, but lets deal with basic networking first. At this point you should be able to ping the NT client from the firewall. (Just checking, but what IP range does your ISP give out? You don't want to use the same range as them). A dig either gives me operation timed out or host is down. So, after 10 gruelling hours last night, I am trying to figure out what to do. I have also gone to the point to put client machines 192.168 addresses and names in the /etc/hosts file of the linux box, thinking that might be the trick. Just try with IP addresses ping 192.168.0.50 ping 192.168.0.2 What else I have noticed is that in the linux logs, the dialup company used by the internet service (outsourced dialup service) is assigning random DNS server IP's to the linux box. Is this the issue? Don't worry dhcp is a good thing. They may have 6 DNS servers running and assign a random 2 out of 6. I will stop here b/c obviously this is enough info on this issue at the moment. Would purchasing a static IP for the linux box help? What am I not doing? I have now got 24 hours to find out :) Get some sort of broadband connection. 25 users on a 54k dial up will be murder. See if you can get a cable modem if you want cheap access.

I work for a cable company, and we only allow 1 MAC address to be associated with the cable modem. Our system won't let that work at all. I know comcast is the same way, and I believe optonline work the same as well. I know your in the UK, so I have no idea how they run it there. you can try it, but you'll lose the ability to run a hardware firewall. Now you could connect the cable modem to a managed switch.

That's why the MAC address spoofing feature of various router boxes is valuable. Set up with your computer following the rigid procedure of the cable company, then have your router box step in and assume that MAC address. Shouldn't need to, you can of course, but just run the dhcp client that ships with redhat. Run NAT with iptables, and your all set. The lines of code I sent to basic NAT masqurading and forwarding. Oh and my cable modem connects to eth1, and my internal NIC is eth0. you may need to change the script a bit. I also run the dhcp server on the inside NIC, eth0. If your cable modem is on eth0, and your internal network is on eth1, remember to change /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd to read DHCPDARGS = eth1 so your internal dhcp server only hands out addresses on your network, not the cable modem network(Not a huge deal, but is likly to piss off your cable operator). -- Michael Gargiullo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Warp Drive Networks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Don't forget chmod 664 * in the web directory to allow apache and teachers to write to the dir. That should do it.
